Prideful Sin

"I startled awake as a hand closed over my mouth. From the little light that penetrated the dark curtains of my bedroom, I could just make out the face of the woman who gave birth to me. Her dark, blood-red hair, like mine, framed a face lost in fright. Not a look I had ever seen in my eight years. I had witnessed anger, annoyance, and even confidence, but never fear. I stared at her wide eyes and flaring nostrils.
The stink of sweat and fear barely overriding the faint hint of wet granite and brimstone permeating the night air...."And so we enter Sin's world once again. Her love life is still complicated, her friend is in a coma, and in case she gets bored, the elves and fairies are gearing up for war. Praise for Lustful Sin (Bounty Hunter, Book 1)". like a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as written by Mickey Spillane, with lots of grungy atmosphere, brutal but piquant characters, a beguiling femme fatale, and punchy dialogue .
A rollicking blend of noir detective story and offbeat erotica with a twist of magic."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
